The atmosphere is authentically early-20th-century, told through black-and-white photographs hung on vintage “riggiole,” glazed tiles decorated with Vietri-style colors and patterns — hence the name — founded by Peppino Marangio, and in two years it will celebrate half a century of table service. Originally a wine and olive oil shop in an old carriage house, it is a historic address between Monte di Dio and Chiaia, a reliable reference point for discovering or rediscovering the dishes of authentic Neapolitan cuisine. The traditional fried dishes are excellent. Not to be missed are the genovese and the true, flavorful ragù, thanks to expertly managed long cooking, as well as an outstanding eggplant parmigiana, generously seasoned. To accompany the meal, there is a fine choice from a wide selection of labels displayed in plain view. The service is pleasant, with the dining room overseen by Francesco, who is careful to maintain the right balance between discretion and familiarity. Dining here, entering through the distinctive door with no external handle, is an experience everyone should have at least once in a lifetime.
